According to sources, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers volunteers have been sanitizing the police station since the lockdown began while also working together with the officers to distribute Covid-19 educational materials with the officers to educate the community about precautions to take during this pandemic.
The Ekurhuleni Metro Police sent an acknowledgement letter thanking the VMs for their support and fast response to emergencies and it read: “We would like to thank the Volunteer Ministers for all the hard work they are doing. Their response is very quick, making it more effective in trying to control the virus. The crew are very friendly and we are grateful for their services.”

It brings us great joy to work with the EMPD to assist and provide safety and hygiene education to our fellow South Africans. We stand together in solidarity in fighting this pandemic,” said Public affairs director of the Volunteer Minister, Mr. Sandile Hlayisi.
